Why in the HELL

[JKurz1]

are so many of us addicted to GUM?????????? Thought it was just me, but it has turned out to be all over the bodybuilding/w8tlifting world....f-ing oral fixation that making me sick............cure me!

 

[bran987]

I freak out if I forget to bring my polar ice gum with me.

I have to buy the huge 12 packs at Sam's wholesale club.

You mean other BB'ers chew a lot too?

 

[JKurz1]

bro, I'm like non-stop...........its so much a habit, but killing my stomach...I'd pay big bucks for a cure....

 

[bran987]

you chew sugar-free I hope... ?

My dentist told me that actually can help prevent cavities more than anything else, what you chewing that upsets the tummy?

 

[Veretta9]

Can't get enough of Orbit, especially the new bubbleyum flavor

 

[JKurz1]

BIG LEAGUE CHEW!!!!!!!!!

nah, of course its sugarless...orbit of every flavor....after about 4, my stomach turns.....

 

[Tom Treutlein]

I only do it to make sure I have good breath. I'm so vain...

 

[Toozee]

I seem to be more of a sugar free mint person myself.

 

[SoreArms]

Can the upset stomach be because the chewing action and sweetness of the gum triggers the release of acids in your stomach because it thinks that foods are coming?

Just a guess.

I usually chew alot of gum too but since i started CKD I find that it makes me feel hungrier

Trident and Dentine are my joneses

 

[JKurz1]

Im sure its the sorbitol or whatever makes it sugarless....how much do you guys chew a day?

 

[Millie]

um yeah... i am truly addicted to gum. that's why i quit it altogether about 3 years ago.
last summer i tried chewing a couple of peices a day. by the end of the week i was back up to 3+ packs a day. so i gave it up again.

When you chew gum you don't eat some fat-and-sugary-bars

It makes you feel full

 

[Clean]

Orbit!

 

[JKurz1]

Deadly.............

 

[Deleted member 33117]

I'm a sugar free trident man myself.

 

[wtlftr]

I don't chew gum. It is bothersome to me. I even hate to hear other people do it. The smacking, popping and chomping is rude....IMO

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Why is Orbit deadly? I heard something bad about it awhile ago. Cancer-inducing, or something...

 

[wtlftr]

Chewing a big mouth full could choke you to death

WTF is that ?????

 

[JKurz1]

Seriously, if you chew over three packs a day for 12.5 days, you will get cancer.....it's a proven study........with rats, of course...........

 

[Omegasox]

Trident for me. Only a couple pieces a day, though. I chew them until they start to disintegrate.

Buddy, something just came to mind. I saw you on another thread talking about how much weight you've lost (if I remember right.. over 40 lbs??) and how you can't gain it back.. and here your stomach is upset from gum.

Have you been to the doc to see if there is something going on with your digestive system or otherwise?

 

[JKurz1]

buddy....I dont gain weight because I dont eat enough.........thats pretty simple....my output is 10x my intake.......I need a cure for mind over matter........

 

[Casull]

Polar Ice for me. Keeps my mouth busy while cutting.

 

[bran987]

buddy...

try chewing gum only a few minutes before you're about to eat something, or right after you've eaten. If you limit it to those times, you'll not only reduce your intake, but the sugar alcohols will be overpowered in your digestive tract by the food. if I understand you right it's just that it's bothering your stomach, not that you want to quit chewing gum completely?

I never knew rats could chew gum? I used to work in a medical college across from a rat lab and i heard them in there squeeking - do u think they were excited about some of those new flavors of gum you guys are talking about??

[Sub-Zero]

cinnamint nigga!

 

[faller]

Too funny!

I like to buy extra in the bag of 5-stick packs. Cheap and minty

Oh, sorbitol can be hell for your digestive tract if you get enough.

 

[bigdho]

Not me but my girl.... Like a pack of orbit a day!!

 

[anthrax]

Chewing gum is much cheaper then a starbucks
